Put a different fuel pump in to my 245, and it stubbornly stumbled to life. (I had to spray starting fluid into the air hose to get it rumbling.

Its still sick, very slow to respond to the throttle, and won't really get above 3,000 or so rpms.

This car hasn't run in about 2 years. But with in the last few weeks, I put some of the intake parts back together. The air plate seemed to rise and fall properly, no sticking.

I pulled the plugs before starting, and put a little oil into the cylinders.

Any advice on why it is so sluggish? Should I be looking for vacuum leaks?

thanks

-Bruce
